## **Trustees’ Annual Report for January-December 2022**
##
SASS is a Charitable Incorporated Organisa6on (CIO) and a membership organisa6on. Members are those who have been volunteers and/or beneficiaries of the charity during the 12 months prior to the Annual General Mee6ng.
The Trustees are responsible for SASS governance and leadership. Members of the group also perform management func6ons.
## **SASS Trustees 2022**
Sandra Morton, Chairman Kathryn Jones, Vice-Chairman Gillian Spedding, Secretary Tom Cheesman, Treasurer Achuil Monytach Aruni Mcshane Clare Jones Funmilayo Olaniyan Emilie Short Sherry Coates is our Advisor on finance, fundraising and accoun6ng.
The total number of Trustees was reduced at the AGM in 2021 following consulta6on and advice on strategy and governance of SASS by the Lloyds Bank Founda6on. Three of the nine Trustees have lived experience as asylum seekers.
## **Paid workers and volunteers**
During 2022 George Wilson was employed between 3 and 4 days per week as the ESOL coordinator and volunteer development worker.
Kelly Wearing and Sherifat Abubakar were each employed for six months of the year on short term contracts.
Delphine Cowley is our fee-paid bookkeeper. Hazel Nixon is a fee-paid administra6on worker.
SASS is very privileged to have a large group of commiZed volunteers. Some are new, some have volunteered for many years.
There are 110 volunteers who give 6me to SASS. They are asylum seekers, refugees, members of the local community in Swansea. A majority of the Trustees also help regularly. At least 36 volunteers give a minimum of 4 hours per week throughout the year. Another 20 give 2 hours per week. Fourteen volunteers give 3 hours a month and 40 are occasional volunteers who
1
hours over the year.
During 2022, SASS began a very successful partnership working with Discovery (Swansea University’s Volunteering organisa6on). That partnership enabled 14 students to volunteer at SASS drop-in sessions.
welcome team, befrienders, delivery drivers, assis6ng with children’s ac6vi6es, dona6on management, teams to set up and clear up a`er drop-in sessions.
SASS could not func6on and deliver its objec6ves without the help and commitment of these volunteers.
## **Aims and ObjecAves**
##
members in September 2022 found that 60% of those asylum seekers who responded have a child or children under the age of 18. The other 40% are individuals. SASS has offered support and friendship to asylum seekers and refugees in Swansea for the past 20 years. Much of the contact takes place at the twice weekly drop-in sessions which offer language classes, a hot meal, table tennis, children’s ac6vi6es and above all opportuni6es to meet and make friends with other asylum seekers, refugees and also with people from the local community. SASS drop-ins become a home from home, a family for sanctuary seekers from many countries, many cultures, many ages. Members progress from visitor to volunteer, helper, worker. They have been welcomed and supported. They become those who welcome and support others.
2022 was a year to restart, rebuild, recover and renew following the lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic. Friday drop-in sessions restarted in April 2022 with an average weekly aZendance of 40-50. Saturday sessions began again in August 2022. By the end of 2022, the average was 83 at the Friday session and 30-40 on Saturdays. Asylum seekers (AS’s) who had arrived in Swansea during or just a`er the pandemic also began to aZend, some signposted by partners, many others coming by word of mouth recommenda6ons.
Members, volunteers, the whole SASS family hugely missed our drop-ins in 2020 and 2021. During that period many SASS volunteers went to great lengths to iden6fy and help people in need of essen6als, to enable con6nued contact through phone messages or doorstep visits and to preserve some sense of community. Most pre-lockdown SASS volunteers are s6ll with us and new ones have been recruited. Everyone was thrilled in 2022 to be able to meet and socialise again with our SASS friends and family.

## **Outcome 1: Achieve greater community par5cipa5on, sense of belonging and Integra5on into UK life**
## **Evidence of achievement**
- From April 2022 when Friday SASS drop-ins re-started un6l the end of December, the sign in sheets indicate that approximately 3000 aZended. N.B. Some/many people will have aZended several sessions and signed in mul6ple 6mes over eight months. This figure is number of people who came through the door and shared a meal during those eight months. Barriers to regular aZendance include lack of money for bus 6ckets, weather, living in parts of Swansea up to five miles from drop-in venues and being single parents with small children. However, we do find that many individuals walk long distances from their accommoda6on to aZend the sessions and to have a hot meal.
- 300 SASS members report improved English language skills. 80% of our par6cipants have taken part in our ESOL classes. It is ranked as the most important priority for our par6cipants. The user survey undertaken in September 2022 iden6fied more than 32 languages spoken by 59 respondents.
- ESOL groups mee6ng face to face and another six
- con6nued to meet on zoom. The zoom groups are par6cularly beneficial for asylum seeker women who have babies and young children which prevents them taking part in face- toface classes.
- 200+ were given help to access other local services, e.g. health, educa6on, housing.
- 50 became volunteers in other community sehngs (e.g. Oxfam, Red Cross, ReCycle bikes project).
- As reported above, approximately 110 SASS members volunteer regularly, providing an es6mated 10,000 volunteer hours last year. About 50% of the volunteers are asylum seekers or refugees, the rest volunteers from the local Swansea community.
- Volunteering for SASS provides asylum seekers and refugees with meaningful occupa6on, an opportunity to share their skills, gain voluntary work experience and take part in training courses in, for example, food hygiene, safeguarding, first aid. They provide language transla6on for their community and help during at drop-ins. These ac6vi6es also contribute to volunteers’ health and wellbeing. It allows people to give back to the community that has supported them and to help others who are on a similar journey.
- 100+ were supported to enrol on local college courses.
- 95% of those responding to the September survey said that coming to SASS helped them feel they belong.
- In rank order, the most important priori6es for people in aZending SASS were:
- Learning English (67%)
- Making friends (59%)
- Being part of a community (53%)
- Mee6ng Bri6sh People (53%)
- A small sewing group for women began in September 2022. Some par6cipants learned to use sewing machines. Others became more proficient. All had weekly access to machines and made a variety of items including shopping bags, dresses, clothes for their children. AZendance varied between 3 and 9 each week.
3
- FAN (Friends and Neighbours) groups meet each week during SASS drop-ins. FAN groups provide a safe space in which to make friends, keep in touch and chat. For learners, the mee6ngs are an opportunity to prac6se speaking English or just listen. They are promoted by the FAN Charity. In a typical mee6ng, everyone introduces themselves, talks a liZle about their week and then speaks on the chosen topic for a few minutes. Conversa6ons are generally upli`ing, o`en funny and always thoughmul. People from many different countries, as well as locals, regularly aZend. Everyone is welcome. About 65% of those who aZend are asylum seekers or refugees, the rest are local volunteers. Several SASS asylum seekers have trained and are now facilitators for FAN mee6ngs.
- About 75 asylum seekers, refugees and local women embroidered squares of material on the theme of Friendship. These squares are being sewn together in a quilt by a member of the Hay Brecon Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees group.

-
- SASS helps me.
- Give opportunity to prac;ce English, if I give them points then I would give them 5 out of 5. I didn’t have any friends, it feels like home and I feel more comfortable, this helps me to improve my English.
- SASS is good for asylum seeker and refugee, makes us happy to forget problems from home.
- _“SASS helps me, I don’t feel lonely._
## **Excerpt of poem wriNen by Aruni**
_There was a mother Guided her Came from a long-lost island Gave her friends and family in search of peace and shelter Blew her the magical dust of Hope There were these noble men and women They called themselves ‘Sass’ Who rescued her family which means ‘Breath’ Gave warmth and care And she lived happily ever after Embraced her Nestling in peace with her cubs._
## **Outcome 2** : **Improve Mental Health and Wellbeing amongst ASRs**
## **Evidence of achievement:**
- In a survey completed by 59 par6cipants (Sept 2022), 100% of respondents said that coming to SASS helped to improve their mental health.
4
- When asked to assess the services provided by SASS, mental health, making friends, and access to healthy food were three most beneficial things that members value.
- Also valued, but less strongly, were the ability to relax and also helping other people within the SASS community.
In terms of outcomes, SASS can report that amongst the people we’ve supported in the last year:
- 150+ people made las6ng friendships.
- 40 referrals were made to mental health/safeguarding services.
-
- 100+ phone calls received (and support provided) from ASRs experiencing distress.
## **Case Studies**
XX. from Egypt was severely depressed, isolated and agoraphobic: for 3 years he did not leave his asylum accommoda6on. A drop-in regular men6oned him to a SASS volunteer, and together they encouraged XX. to come along. He gained confidence, developed his English skills, and met volunteers who accompanied him to his court hearing. Having got his right to remain, he is now in work and married with a child, in Scotland.
and child, was severely depressed. Soon a`er star6ng to aZend drop-ins, he was taken into deten6on. A volunteer originally from Eritrea kept in touch with him, and another volunteer took care of their belongings while detained (risk of the`). A`er his release, volunteers engaged with Gower College and African Community Centre to address his mental health needs. Shortly a`erwards, he was hospitalised with TB, a condi6on deemed shameful in his culture: he confided only in SASS volunteers. Eventually he got his right to remain. He is now working and living in London. His wife and children are there too. As she is an asylum claimant, they are not yet able to live together.
ZZ. (Ethiopia) had a career as an aeronau6cal engineer before seeking asylum. It took the Home Office 9 years to decide the case in his favour. His career was destroyed. Throughout this 6me, he suffered severe depression and anxiety, and was the vic6m of three incidents of racist assault. SASS drop-ins were his only social outlet, and the only place he felt safe. With volunteers’ support, he embarked on university studies and graduated in compu6ng, but due to chronic mental and physical health problems, he has not been able to work. He tends to be reclusive. Recently he was persuaded to join the welcome and sign-in team at drop-ins, and with support and encouragement he is becoming more confident.
## **TesJmonials**
“ _Swansea Asylum Seeker Support has been a safe and friendly place where diverse people coming to Swansea for dispersal accommodaKon can feel at home and build new relaKonships. I myself arrived in Swansea in November 2017 with few wriPen English learnt from school back home but without any confidence and was introduced at SASS by a friend to aPend drop ins each Friday at Saint James and meeKng people. The most important thing I found at SASS is that_
5
_people do not only avoid being isolated but also they build long term relaKonships and volunteers are more supporKve, friendly, opened, and paKent. Asylum seekers and Refugees face various challenges that are hard to describe but being part of the community such as SASS helps to forget few things and become more resilient”._
## **Lead caseworker, Wales Refugee Council**
## **Outcome 3: Improve support and quality of Life, and lessen the efects of poverty and des5tu5on for Asylum Seekers and Refugees**
Crea6ng community is one of our major achievements and this contributes to the mental health of everyone involved.
• Throughout the year, asylum seekers and refugees frequently contact paid workers, volunteers and/or Trustees with urgent needs. Their needs are varied. For example, they urgently require food, nappies or baby milk. ASPEN cards do not always arrive quickly for those new to Swansea, some6mes the cards get lost or damaged so individuals/families can be le` with no money to purchase food. New arrivals come to Swansea with no warm clothing. Boilers some6mes fail in the height of winter.
• We give people seeking asylum character references, acknowledging their voluntary par6cipa6on in our organisa6on. This can help people to obtain work and therefore become economically ac6ve or to gain a university place. It can also contribute to someone being granted leave to remain in the UK - thus avoiding possible des6tu6on and deporta6on.
## **Evidence of Achievement:**
- 5000+ hot meals were prepared and served to adults and children at SASS drop-ins during the year.
- 180+ families/Individuals were given clothing, household items, bedding, toys, books,and games.
- 150+ were referred to foodbanks.
- 90 individuals, 200 families and 375 children received gi` parcels at Christmas. The parcels contained toys, books, chocolates, hats, gloves, socks).
- 250 adults were given hygiene/period products.
- family and friends as well as take part in zoom ESOL lessons.
- accommoda6on etc.
## **Outcome 4: Raise public awareness of asylum seekers and refugees’ issues.**
• **Hafan Books** , a project run by our Treasurer, has published seven high quality anthologies of refugee wri6ng since 2003 and about 30 other books, most including work by asylum seekers and refugees. All proceeds from sales go to SASS: in 2022 that was **£1417.** In 2022, Hafan published a book of poems by longstanding SASS (and SBASSG) volunteer Max Kpakio, _My Jealous Visitor_ , and also released a video, ‘No Friends but the Mountains: Walking in the Shoes of Kurdish Refugees’, narrated by another longstanding SASS/SBASSG volunteer, Shahsavar
6
Rahmani. The video features the voices of 6 fellow Kurdish refugees (interviewed by Shahsavar for the Open University’s Covid Chronicles project), with anima6ons by Lucy Donald. A launch event was organised in Refugee Week (June 23) at Volcano Theatre, High St., in collabora6on with Swansea Refugee and Asylum Women’s Group, SCVS, Unity and Diversity, ILAS, Congolese Development Project, the Open University, and others. See further informa6on and links at: **www.hafanbooks.org** . Contact Tom on t.cheesman@swansea.ac.uk / 07736408064
• Our "SWARM" email list is a forum for the exchange of informa6on of interest both to asylum seekers and refugees and the people who work with them. To become a member of Swarm, contact our Treasurer on t.cheesman@swansea.ac.uk.
• SASS is an ac6ve partner in **Swansea City of Sanctuary (SCoS)** , and in the UK-wide City of Sanctuary movement. This movement encourages individuals and organisa6ons in the city to welcome, support and celebrate people seeking sanctuary here. SASS members helped Swansea City of Sanctuary in several ways: on the commiZee, as speakers, volunteer mentors and raising awareness of refugee and asylum issues in their own community. The challenges which our members share with staff and volunteers con6nue to inform the strategy of this ambi6ous movement. Many SASS members also are involved in the ‘Welcome to Swansea’ mentoring project, set up by SCoS and now run by Swansea Council for Voluntary Services.
- Regular joint bi-monthly Zoom mee6ngs led by the City of Sanctuary con6nue to ensure coordina6on between health, educa6on, housing and local chari6es across Swansea.
• SASS works closely with many other local chari6es including EYST, Unity in Diversity, African Community Centre, Centre for African Entrepreneurship, Iberio-la6noamericans in Wales.
- Introduc6on and induc6on sessions for new volunteers are held approximately six 6mes per year with 5-10 people aZending each one.
- Speakers from SASS aZend local community groups giving talks about asylum seekers in Swansea and the ac6vi6es of SASS.
- SASS has a website, facebook page, several what’s app groups to give informa6on to members, to the local community and also to other organisa6ons who signpost asylum seekers to SASS.
- A twmpath was held in October 2022 with about 120 people from the local community and SASS members aZending. A table top sale was held in the same month. It was a fundraising event but also enabled the local community to meet SASS members and volunteers.
- Regular e-mail updates are provided for supporters
## **Plans for the Future**
Our plans for 2023 focus on “going deeper, not wider”, so that we con6nue to provide the services that we know are needed, improve them and provide more of them.
• Drop-ins: con6nue to welcome new arrivals as well as encouraging regular aZenders to commit to helping as volunteers.
7
- In addi6on to sharing a meal at the drop-in, provide more take away meals to help reduce food poverty.
- Con6nue to provide ESOL (English language teaching). Hold regular ESOL teacher team mee6ngs to share good prac6ce, measure progress of learners.
- food hygiene, first aid, safeguarding, signpos6ng.
- Provide training sessions for members and volunteers on the Right to Remain process.
- Obtain funding to restart the play scheme, recruit play coordinator and workers.
- Increase the number and range of ac6vity groups mee6ng outside drop-ins, for example, cooking/healthy ea6ng, family learning and life in Wales. Work with partners to provide these ac6vi6es.
- Give more opportuni6es for those with lived experience to become advisors, to shadow SASS trustees, become full trustees of SASS or to work with other chari6es in similar roles.
- Create, test and use a more formal monitoring and evalua6on framework to measure success and impact of SASS.
- Commission an external review of SASS provision, impact and provision.
## **Our Thanks …**

-
- Thanks to our part-6me paid workers in 2022: George Wilson, Kelly Wearing (re6red June 2022) and Sherifat Abubakar (contract ended December 2022). Their job is difficult, complex, demanding and at 6mes emo6onally draining—as well as very rewarding. We appreciate their commitment, knowledge and skills.
- The Hay Brecon Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees group does valuable and very important work, mostly quietly in the background, suppor6ng SASS and other chari6es such as EYST and UiD, by providing resources to help asylum seekers and refugees in various kinds of crisis, in an unbureaucra6c way. In addi6on to providing funding for a large range of necessi6es, the group also arranges wonderful 'respite' coach trips to beau6ful mid-Wales.
- Thanks also to everyone in SASS who is involved in suppor6ng people in need, collec6ng and sor6ng and distribu6ng dona6ons, teaching English, making friends and suppor6ng individuals, as well as contribu6ng to campaigns on issues relevant to the welfare of asylum seekers.
- We are blessed to have wonderful kitchen teams at both drop-ins. Thank you for delicious food, washing up and enabling SASS to retain its 5-star food hygiene ra6ng.
- To all our colleagues working with asylum seekers and refugees in Swansea and South Wales, many thanks for your support and willingness to work in partnership.
- Special thanks to Adult Learning Wales, African Community Centre, Asylum Jus6ce, City and County of Swansea, Centre for African Entrepreneurship, Congolese Development Project, Discovery, Displaced People in Ac6on, Ethnic Youth Support Team, Hay Brecon Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees, Iberio-la6noamericans in Wales, Swansea City of Sanctuary, Swansea Council for Voluntary Services, Unity in Diversity, Welsh Refugee Council and many others.

- And last, but my no means least, diolch yn fawr, thank you to everyone who is part of our lively community.
## **Financial Review for the year 2022**
## **Introduc5on**
Our accounts are prepared on the receipts and payments basis and are independently reviewed. Approved accounts are on the websites of the Charity Commission and www.sass.wales.
The movement in the bank accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 is shown in total and as split between SASS and Share Tawe project:
||**Total Bank**|**SASS**|**Share Tawe**|
|---|---|---|---|
|**Bank Balances at 1/1/22**|59,888|58,435|1,453|
|**Income**|94,492|88,494|5,998|

- Although the Share Tawe project was transferred to EYST in 2021, donaDons conDnue to be received for Share Tawe by SASS. These are transferred over the EYST every few months.
- SASS opera;ons aRer COVID began in March 2022 with Friday drop ins and Saturday drop ins started in August. Staff costs and related were also not for the full year. The annual costs for a full year’s opera;ons (the sum required by our Reserves policy—see below) are therefore higher than 2022 expenditure.
- SASS reserves at 31 December 2022: **Unrestricted** : £69,290 **Restricted** : £19,901
## **Income**
SASS is grateful to numerous individuals, congrega;ons and other groups who support through regular standing orders or one-off giRs. SASS also collected from book sales during the year. These dona;ons to SASS and book sales totalled **£19,062.**

## **Expenditure**
The breakdown of the **£57,738** expenditure for the year for SASS is as follows **:** Staff costs £31,974 Office related £ 7,525 Volunteer expenses £ 2,857 Top ups £ 1,570 Events and related costs (including drop-ins) £10,692 Consultants and counselling £ 1,708 Period Dignity £ 1,055 Toys and play materials £ 357
## **Reserves**
Our Reserves Policy adopted in October 23[rd] 2012 states that:
We will review the level of our reserves annually, based on the following principles:
- (1) To use the resources of the charity to support ac;vi;es which will further the aims of the charity.
- (2) To protect the long-term future of the charity by assessing poten;al risks and, as an organisa;onal priority, to set aside an appropriate sum to deal with them.
- (3) To integrate the sedng of our reserves level with an annual review of needs and opportuni;es. The long-term future of the charity will always be paramount but in budge;ng for the forthcoming year we will, when we can, also designate any unrestricted funds for mee;ng iden;fied needs and opportuni;es priori;sed by the management commieee.
- (4) We aim to keep enough money in reserve for one year of basic opera;ons without funding.
Trustees have therefore reviewed the policy and agreed at a mee;ng held in July 2023 that the level of reserves will be reduced from one year to **9 months** of basic opera;ons without funding. It is believed that 9 months is sufficient ;me to source funding for basic opera;ons and we are more likely to be able to meet our reserve policy.
Unrestricted funding equivalent to 9 months of basic opera;ons, therefore, needs to be maintained by the end of 2023. This means that there is con;nual work by the trustees and others in keeping funding coming in for basic opera;ons as well as raising restricted funds for other ac;vi;es.
10
The Treasurer, Tom Cheesman, and all the Trustees, specially thank our paid bookkeeper, Delphine Cowley for maintaining a monthly record of income and expenditure both on an overall SASS level and a funding level.
Founda;on for their advice and consultancy help.
